95bb2's '00 Highlander Edition build

Hey guys!
My name is Will and this is my 2000 Toyota 4runner Highlander edition.

This is my first 4runner, as a matter this is the only car I've owned except Honda's.

Anyways I did a lot of research before and after the purchase. So I knew the first thing I had to do was get a transmission cooler since I had no idea on when it was previously replaced. So I went ahead and bypassed the radiator transmission cooler completely. So being that I was kind of worried about the transmission overheating in stop and go traffic I got a ScangaugeII so I can monitor the vehicle at all times and keep an eye on the transmission temp. (I have some questions about this a little further down)
I plan to replace the radiator further down the road and run the cooler inline.
When I bought the car it had the terrible wobble that I had read about. The car just had the brakes done less than a year ago yet it was wobbling so I had the rotors turned and the pads replaced along with the two back tires. I'll be buying a set for the front in the next month or so.
I also scored a sweet deal on a Kenwood dnx6180 I think from work. $900 gps double din i scored for $120 and the car had a 4 channel JBL amp when I bought it, so this is great.

If anyone has any idea what the regular operating temperatures for the transmission oil on a car with a b&m 70268?


Here are some pictures:

Thanks I'm still doing lots of research on what I want and should do to the car, I still have to do a full tune up and replace the front two tires. But I need to get my viper security system installed and then finish ordering my sound system. After that I can start modding the car
